-### Features
+RNSM also allows you to remove easily unwanted styling options without having to pass in rule objects that have their react key implemented/dummied to ignore those styling options.
+
+Example:
 
+```js
+<Markdown
+  styles={ markdownStyles }
+  whitelist={['link', 'url']}
+>
+  { description }
+</Markdown>
+```
+
+Will only apply the default styles for `link` and `url`. You don't need to pass in a rules prop that contained a key for all the styles you don't want and reimplement their styling output anymore.
+
+### Features
+- `blockQuote` (`<View>`) - Also `blockQuoteBar` and `blockQuoteText`
 - `br` (`<Text>`)
 - `del` (`<Text>`)
 - `em` (`<Text>`)
